Is there anyone here in this board who knows, which MBA programs in Germany have the best reputation internationally, especially in eastern European countries? Thanks

Its hard to tell since almost none of the GErman MBAs take part in the rankings by Equis and the other institutions. I think the ESMT in Berlin should be a good bet, also ESCP-EAP in BErlin is known internationally. Did you have a look at the German B-school ranking (http://www.find-mba.com/mba-rankings)?

Thanks Roland! Yes, I did check the rankings, but I would appreciate some more info.... Any more comments?

I'm an American and hoping to go to either Berlin (ESCP-EAP or BSE) or Leipzig for an MBA this year. Any thoughts about these schools?

As far as the location is concerned... well, you can only go to Berlin, its a great city, very vibrant. I also think that ESCP-EAP has a better reputation than Leipzig, actually I havent heard of Leipzig so far. ESMT in Berlin would be another choice, its supposed to become one of the top schools but it only got going this year.

yup. I've heard the same thing about Berlin. I will check out ESMT for sure. Thanks, Roland. Are you a student in Germany?

Yes, I am german, from Berlin to be more precise. So my advice regarding Leipzig-Berlin might be biased ;-)

The only German program that was discussed when I was doing my MBA (2001-2003) is WHU-Koblenz. Their international brand is driven by an association with Kellogg. My experience during a summer program there in Vallendar was very positive.

German MBAs do not have a good reputation in Eastern Europe, there are local schools better than any MBA in Germany.

one of them..

Hi, could you name me some B Schools in Ukraine or Russia which have an international reputation? Until now I didn't come accross any in the rankings, nor elsewhere. To me the MBAs you can do in those two countries seem to have a local appeal.

This one is better..
Warsaw Univ of Tech
MBA Partnership with LBS and HEC

If you are thinking about Europe you should be looking to the East not West. Poland, Ukraine and Russia are where the growth is, and having an MBA from Germany will do next to nothing for you. If you are interested in these markets you either need a truly top notch MBA from US or LBS/HEC, or go to a good local school and network with the locals.

In the rankings I only found Warsaw University of Technology, and not SGH. So do you think in general SGH is perceived as the better school internationally, by employers?

BTW there are some other good schools in Eastern Europe too, such as Corvinus University in Budapest.

I was just wondering about Ukrainian and Russian programs. Which local B schools there did you think of?

Money certainly plays a role regarding rankings, but I'm sure if a Ukrainian or Russian MBA program had an as high international standard as, let's say, the top US MBAs, money would not be the problem preventing the program from being ranked...

Besides that, you can't say positioning in the rankings is only about money. It does reflect a certain international quality standard. It just looked weird to me that not a single one of the Ukrainian and Russian MBAs is to be found.

But if you say MBA is not so common in those countries, maybe here lies the reason. Still I'd like to stress here that for me an Msc in Eco/Finance does not at all have the same value as an MBA - I believe employers have the same idean as me.

I made the quoted comments above in a private chat with Pavaanjeet and am happy to discuss my impressions in a public forum. The comments come from my experience with WHU.
